I admit that I have been a little critical of the St. Louis Cardinals so far, particularly on offense. However, there are certain things that people are overreacting to that don’t make sense. One of those is pointed out by Bernie Miklasz here.
As I indicate above, I agree with Bernie on this one. Yadier Molina has gotten off to a slow start in regards to gunning down opposing base stealers in 2011, 2013 and last year, but he got better over the course of the season in each of those years, to the point of leading the league in regards to the rate at which he caught opposing base stealers.
